Perfect For Fall: Imari Elixir & Pearls

Hey, beauts. TGIF! On the blog today, i'm featuring one of my favorite AVON fragrances (it's fairly new to the Imari Family) - Imari Elixir! You may have read my post awhile back on the 30th Anniversary of the Imari fragrance. I had covered the new look to the bottles and made a welcoming nod to the Imari Elixir. In this post, i'm going to share with you all what I love about the fragrance, as well as the scented Body Lotion from the line. I'll also be sharing a few of the online reviews left from customers. All of which can be found at youravon.com/ssandis That is where you will also place your order!

As of this post, the Imari Elixir Spray has a 4.6 out of 5 stars with 16 customer reviews.

Feel the intensity of passion with tempting juicy blackberry essence, seductive rose absolute and hypnotic pure vanilla extract.

What I love about this fragrance:

• It's unique, mysterious, and sexy.
  
• I receive many compliments when i'm out and wearing this product.
  
• It makes me feel powerful and gives me a sense of confidence.
  
• The scent holds all day, especially when accompanied by the Body Lotion.
  
• This fragrance, I feel, would be best for special occasions/professional settings. Date night? Work meeting? Don't forget your Imari Elixir!
  
• It smells rich, as in you've spent over $50 for the bottle (only you haven't. Cost? $23. What's better than that? This fragrance often goes on special in addition to other select fragrances, any 2 for $22. What a steal!

Online Customer Reviews of the Imari Elixir Eau de Toilette Spray:

"The best of the best! Imari has always been my favorite of Avon and the Elixir is the absolute best! It is very seductive without being overpowering. I always get compliments (from both sexes) whenever I wear it. Imari is my 'Signature Fragrance'."

"It last the entire day & the smell is wonderful. Completely satisfied!"

"I was so delighted to receive this item. They did an excellent job with the sample in the book. This is my go to fragrance for fall. The scent is rich. You spray it on and first scent encountered are rich blackberries. It dries down to a lovely vanilla, rose after fragrance--which to me adds a seductive quality."

"So lovely. Opens with blackberry and Ylang-ylang, mellows to a musky warmth. Better than regular Imari, which I also love. Sillage is moderate, not too overpowering. Less spicy than Imari, more fruity, but think baked blackberry cobbler with cinnamon, not raw blackberries. Makes me terribly happy to wear this. Does not smell seductive, but no perfume ever does on me. It just smells comforting and delicious. Cheers me up."

"Well my goodness, this is very pretty! It reminds me of Bath and Body Works' Twilight Woods but better!!! And really the longevity is very good for an edt. You do not have to spray your whole self to get the effect of an edp. I think this could be one of Avon's absolute best yet! My daughter who is 21 loves this as well!!! Wonderful!"

"So happy this is the newest Imari scent added! I'm a perfume lover and Avon always delivers. This is not only fruity, but sexy and warm! Great for Fall. Love this new scent!!"

UC Indulgence Lip Color Swatches

Hey, beauties! Now is the time for me to do a lippy swatch post since the AVON Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color is at the LOWEST PRICE EVER -- only $3.99 each! (Reg. $9 each) As an AVON Independent Sales Representative, I am able to purchase lipstick samples in many shades/lines. This is geared for my customers to try out so they can see if they like the color prior to making their purchase. It also works out great for me so I can try a new shade out when the mood strikes. 

Today I will be "swatching" most of the Ultra Color Indulgence Lip Color lipstick line. There are 12 indulgent shades to this line and I have 10 that I will show swatches on today. The 2 shades that I do not have on me to share with you are: In Bloom (a light golden/brown nude color) and Day Lily (a deep burgundy more purple than reddish, though).

(From left to right) Peach Petunia, Petal Pink, Poppy Pink, Pink Blossom, Red Tulip, Chocolate Rose, Honey Flower, Plum Verbena, Rose Bouquet, and Orchid Petal.

As you can tell from my picture, I have used the Orchid Petal quite a bit! I love the fun purple shade. I don't find it to be too bright but it sure is cheerful. I've never really experienced a shade like it which is why I feel that I am most drawn to its unique color. 

Here is a collage I made up of me wearing a few of the AVON Ultra Color Indulgence, through the pass couple of months, in shades: Chocolate Rose, Rose Bouquet, Pink Blossom, and Orchid Petal :

I had so much fun wearing the Chocolate Rose shade. It was way outside my comfort zone to don such a dark brown color. I received tons of compliments while wearing it. The Rose Bouquet is a great red shade for those who wish to take that next step from lighter/darker pink shades. This shade is a perfect transition from that to the classic red lip. Pink Blossom is such a cute and girly shade! I also receive a ton of compliments when I wear this one. Then we have the Orchid Petal, which as I mentioned above, I find to be an incredibly unique shade. 

I feel that all of these lipstick shades would work on any skin tone. The UC Indulgence lipsticks are lightweight, yet provide full coverage and rich color. These lipsticks have a creamy and refreshing texture -- quite soothing to the lips! 

SWATCH TIME!

Fall's Ultimate Accessory: The Statement Scarf

Hey there, beauties! I previously blogged some beauty tips to gear up for the Fall trends and today, i'd like to continue the Fall theme by featuring the ultimate Fall fashion accessory - The statement scarf.

Three Print Scarf Pack 

Regular $29.99 ON SALE NOW $19.99 for the pack.

Fall’s ultimate accessory in the season’s hottest prints.

Each pack includes one black & white lace, one red floral print and one white/black/brown leopard print 72” L x 18” W scarves.

These scarves are great because they are versatile and trendy with attractive designs. There are endless style possibilities - so bring out the Fashionista in you!

Speaking on endless style possibilities, another essential Fall fashion accessory is the mark. Endless Style Scarf. A great, patterned, extra-long scarf to spice up your outfit. Perfect to mix up textures and patterns for a standout look. Houndstooth with red trim. $18 | Pairs fabulously with the mark. On Top Of Things Jacket (pictured below with scarf) $65

Customer Comment about Endless Style Scarf:

"I love herringbone, and this take on it is fabulous. The color is very vibrant (more so than the picture). It will be perfect for fall with its deep cranberry color.I also like that the tag is in black and not obvious, unlike most scarf tags which I end up removing because it ruins the look. This would be a great addition to a black or white suit for business as well!"

Tip: When shopping mark. Fashions, keep in mind that the pieces are designed and fitted for Junior sizing. You're never "too old" to dress fashionably, however, keep the sizing chart in mind when making your purchases. If you are unsatisfied with any product in your online order, AVON does offer a Money Back Guarantee. So, if it doesn't fit, or it isn't what you had in mind - send it back and your money will be refunded to you.

Additional Beauty Tips for the Fall Season:

• Be Natural. Use light and natural colored foundation and blush. A natural face is the quintessential fall look.
• Nail the Half Moon. Using the tip of the polish brush from your half-moon shade, pat three small dots in the shape of a triangle where your half moon would be (so two dots close to the skin, then the top peak further down the nail). Then fill in — simple!
• Do the Twist. Brush hair straight down, then clip your strands into segments to make your workload smaller. Then, start twisting sections vertically. As the piece of hair gets more twisted, you can pull it back horizontally. Twisting down, not back, will ensure the twist starts early on the scalp.
• Contour with White. Apply the white product around the eyes, on cheekbones, and on the chin to bring light to the high points of the face and slim down your features.
